Usage Note 47079: An incorrect font might be used when using the Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) device with ODS Graphics
 |  |  |  |
An incorrect font might be used when generating Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) graphs with ODS Graphics. This is most likely to occur when creating graphs with the ODS Listing destination and specifying the IMAGEFMT=SVG option in an ODS GRAPHICS statement.
The example code below illustrates this by generating an SVG graph with an incorrect font:
ods listing;
ods graphics / reset width=800px height=600px imagename='Cars' imagefmt=svg;
title height=1cm font='Arial' 'Cars by Origin';
proc sgplot data=sashelp.cars;
hbar origin;
run;
To circumvent the problem, specify the NOFONTEMBEDDING option in an OPTIONS statement, as follows:
options nofontembedding;
